Chapter 007: Wedding Dress
After speaking, Gu Qiancheng walked back to the wedding hall and forcefully pushed open the screen. With a loud bang, the screen fell to the ground, startling everyone, who instinctively turned to look...
Gu Qianxue rolled her eyes and immediately took out a handkerchief to wipe her eyes, crying with great grievance: "Sister, you had the maid call me here just to see you drive Father to his death and humiliate me, your younger sister? Sister, you are truly heartless"
If it were in the past, Qin Yunchu would have jumped out to defend Gu Qianxue, but today, upon seeing Gu Qianxue, Qin Yunchu was completely stunned. He didn't know what to say at all; today was the most embarrassing moment of his life
Qin Yunchu recalled Gu Qiancheng's demeanor in front of the crowd, still poised and composed despite their scrutiny
Both Duke Gu and Madam Gu are absent, and Qin Yunchu remains silent. The guests, feeling unrestrained, begin to jest: "This bride is truly anxious; just look at her attire, she is actually wearing a red dress
This is genuine feigned ignorance, not a pretense. Unless one sells everything they have, it is impossible for the Guo Gongfu to gather 800,000 taels of silver within a month. Gu Qiancheng is determined to drive the Guo Gong to his death
When Chu Yun turned around, Gu Qianxue's pair of watery eyes were filled with tears, looking at Qin Yunchu with a pitiful gaze, hoping that Qin Yunchu would come to her rescue as a hero
Duke Gu realized the gravity of the situation when Gu Qiancheng was speaking, but he was powerless to stop it. When Gu Qiancheng finished speaking, Duke Gu spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground with a thud
For some reason, Qin Yunchu used to be very fond of the delicate and innocent Gu Qianxue, but upon seeing her today, he only finds her petty and unrefined.
"Sister, how have you become like this? How can you speak like that..." Gu Qianxue said with tears in her eyes, looking at Gu Qiancheng with a resentful expression, resembling a pitiful person who had been bullied
I originally thought Gu Qianxue would go to seek help, but it turns out that the girl is not that clever; she just came to join in the fun. How foolish she is
Faced with the disdainful gazes of the crowd, Gu Qianxue knew that if she did not say something or take some action, she would be doomed
"I am not... I did not, it was my sister, it was my sister who harmed me, it was my sister who is jealous of me..." The young girl, feeling shy, turned crimson at being teased a few times. Even if she wanted to frame Qian Cheng, her words came out in a stammer.
Gu Qiancheng's eyes were fixed on Gu Qianxue's belly as he spoke, hinting to everyone why Gu Qianxue was so anxious
Hmph... Gu Qiancheng let out a cold snort, casting a profound and inscrutable glance at Qin Yunchu. Turning around, she limped away in her wedding dress, leaving behind a crowd of onlookers and a group of bewildered servants
In light of such matters as www.hetushu.com, Qin Yunchu can still smoothly marry Gu Qianxue; her name Gu Qiancheng can be written in reverse.
Qin Yunchu's gaze followed Gu Qiancheng's figure, lost in thought as he stared in the direction Gu Qiancheng had departed. When Qin Yunchu came to his senses, he happened to see Gu Qianxue looking aggrieved and uneasy.
Prince Chu, you are just like this wedding gown; I, Gu Qiancheng, do not want you at all. As for the person you wish to marry, if I am not mistaken, she is currently waiting for you in the back hall, eager for your arrival. You can have her wear this wedding gown and still make it in time for the auspicious hour
Her actions have tarnished Gu Qiancheng's reputation, and these individuals should not expect to marry in a clean and glamorous manner. Even if her reputation is ruined and she is abandoned by her family, Gu Qiancheng does not regret her actions today
Gu Qiancheng smiled with a hint of sarcasm: "Qianxue, today I am the bride, the busiest person here. I do not have the time to call you over. You rushed here to see the groom out of impatience; do not blame others for your own actions"
Gu Qiancheng glanced thoughtfully at the screen, as if she had not seen the Duke Gu lying on the ground. Standing in place, Gu Qiancheng took off her wedding gown and let it fall to the ground.
With the phoenix crown adorned and the outer robe changed, one can proceed to the wedding
Qin Yunchu's gaze was dazed, and in his mind, the image of Gu Qiancheng's calm counterattack surfaced, the ruthless manner in which he dragged everyone down without a care. At that time, Gu Qiancheng was very dazzling, making it unforgettable...
Gu Qianxue heard about Duke Gu fainting from behind the door, yet she felt not the slightest concern. All she knew was that her father had agreed, and how Duke Gu would manage to gather this sum of money was of no concern to her
It is all Gu Qiancheng's fault
Without any reinforcements and no one stepping in to take charge, she might as well enjoy herself to the fullest; otherwise, it would be a disservice to the reputation she bears.
She also desires the beautiful reputation of filial piety, but she cannot compromise herself to exchange for that hollow name, forcing herself to endure humiliation for a lifetime, living by others' whims.
A glint of ruthlessness flashed in Gu Qiancheng's eyes, but ultimately it transformed into calmness. With a cold-blooded biological father and a cruel stepmother, she could not be blamed for her lack of filial piety
The onlookers were astonished, and Gu Qiancheng's gaze became quite peculiar. Regardless of whether Gu Qiancheng's actions were right or wrong, within a single day, the reputation of his parents was either severely damaged or spread like wildfire.
Indeed, Gu Qianxue was sitting there with a face full of panic, unable to leave or stay. Under the scrutiny of the crowd, her face was flushed crimson, and the handkerchief in her hand was twisted into a shapeless form as she glared angrily at Gu Qiancheng
Qianxue, it's not that the elder sister is telling you this; even if you are anxious, you shouldn't rush the timing. Those who don't know might think you can't wait any longer
Gu Qianxue, in her moment of joy, bumped into the table, producing a soft sound. Although the noise was not loud, Gu Qiancheng heard it. Connecting it to the little maid who had left earlier, Gu Qiancheng realized that Gu Qianxue was in the inner hall.
